Homebrew SNES emulator with SA1 chip compatibility?

[Liambass]

Wasn't there a thing in another thread about a list of upcoming games mined from the Japanese VC and one of these (Marvelous possibly?) used the SA1, meaning of course that the VC would have to be updated and we should be able to inject into that.

Link?

I can't find the thread right now. To be fair it may of all been theoretical or there's even a chance I'm remembering it wrong. I've found a short article about the VC mining if that helps: http://hackinformer.com/2016/03/07/super-nintendo-vc-titles-leaked/

I really want SMRPG (which came out today in NA on the Wii U VC) and Kirby's Dream Land 3 on the New 3DS Virtual Console so badly! I know it's possible because my phone runs them flawlessly.

Then why haven'tyou bought it yet? Why are you talking about it here?

I did get SMRPG on the Wii U VC but it would be awesome if Nintendo added it to the New 3DS Virtual Console. I don't buy that "SA1 chip games won't work on the New 3DS" crap because, like I said, my phone ran it perfectly. No slowdowns, no sound issues, and no graphical glitches.

Your phone is also quite a margin more powerful than the n3DS. By quite a bit, I mean leaps and bounds.

Not to mention, a phone runs a homebrew emulator not an official one. Near all homebrew emulators support emulation of the SA-1. Nintendo's? Nope.

That said, my DSTwo runs it at third speed, and the new 3ds is 6x as powerful. It would require careful multithreaded optimization, but it's doable.

Course, maybe Nintendo just wants to persuade people to buy a Wii U.

It's already BEEN done by homebrew. Nintendo won't do it until a game needs it.

Haha! I think it's very sad if Nintendo expects to sell the Wii U by porting ~20 year old games to them I'm playing SMRPG (higan) myself for the moment, but I wouldn't be willing to buy the Wii U just 'cause it has that. Actually, I'd rather buy a SNES to feel that I'm playing it authentically.

Anyways, I didn't know PocketSNES had such a good compatibility, but then again last time I played it was on a DSlite. Or I think I tried it...

PocketSNES was the best I was able to find for Kirby Dreamland 3, as I had the desire to play it. After heavy modification to the settings, it became playable on my 2DS. I imagine it'd be enjoyable on the N3DS. Just fiddle with the settings.
